What Are Chili Beans?

Q: Chili beans are an ingredient in your Pumpkin Chili recipe. I would really like to make this, but I am not sure what chili beans are.

Editor: Chili beans are something you'll find in the canned good aisle at your grocery store. I believe they are usually pinto beans in a mild chili-spiked sauce. If you can't find chili beans, you can likely just substitute pinto beans.
